I know a lady who worked and her husband was at home, so I spose sometimes yes. Money is one of 'the' issues of a couple. If there is a lot, it is hard to see the love, and if there isnt much, it gets dirty. Anyway for the couple to be able to communicate about it, and especially if it is fun, is good enough for me. Fun article.

I love my car dealer, it is good to find somebody you like, they can pick the best car for you, so suiting. You dont mind giving them money. I wouldnt have a clue what you are talking about with all those names.

Is that so? Well my understanding of an ambassador is anybody who represents their country. I guess it doesnt only have to be country. I think we should do away with ambassador as a position of parliament/government. They are also boggled in 'red tape', it is not their fault, but it is degenerative, in the minus. Bye-bye!
Posted in: Which is more important for incoming ambassadors: To be well connected to their head of state or to have a good knowledge of the country where they are being posted?

yes but knowledge through a posting in a country is not 'good' knowledge of the country-its usually filtered through the embassy doors. It would be better to have no knowledge than a little. That is, Maher in Okinawa has about as much knowledge as your Californian guy

How can one have a good knowledge of a country, when that would require all the time it took to achieve the post of ambassador? And not only that, if the connection to head of state, what-not, is not good, you could wonder who the ambassador is talking for.

Who is Kuhl? and where is Washington? I really dont think it takes much to realize the r's and l's, and why a child will or won't pronounce it, being varied. But Id like anybody to explain how a brain tunes out sounds that don't fit, what is it that doesn't fit. Id also like to know how many kids, is that Mrs, Miss or Ms, Kuhl has and how she has practically applied her theories on an assignment that she wasnt being paid for?? Wonder which language the birds voice sings in? Communication with children is the ultimate goal, and should be by the parent, using which ever language accessories they might will. Id also like to ask, by one, whether the child has even unfurled their fingers. Man! you could sit at the computor open the dictionary or translation page and just read all the languages given for a word and the kid'll learn the whole world of speech before they are 2, guaranteed!

Its sad, what can you do?-give a good example of a healthy relationship. That can be difficult, right. I was thinking its gone beyond the, affect the kids thing though. I think the adults are affected, and especially that they would like to be that themselves. I think it is gender issues, and nothing whatsoever to do with countries.

I think the country has nothing to do with it, it depends on the parent. Go on give it a go, kids are good teachers.

This is so interesting-sorry! I just think that their money making businesses carry 2 points. One, like that of construction, the 'yakuza' are rather good for something. Their opposition often white-collar workers who are happy to make money off other mens sweat. The second parts also has 2 parts, mainly "sex" trafficing and opposedly, drugs. The only solution that comes to mind is make sure wives wages equals their fellow sex-providers. For starters anyway.

I think the Christians have gone a bit too far with the, Christian=sinner thing, and arent seeing and protecting the innocent. Why would a woman listen to her husband to help with such a project?

I think it has to do with fertility acceptance, an understanding that we are not all perfect, all of the time, so if you fart when your hubby arrives home oneday, let's hope you both giggle! and just a slight drop in demands on wants, versus needs. I think the money drops puts strain of recent, but the issues are deep-seeded, and need time and care. A lady-my Japanese 'gas lady'- said to me recently that having babies older than 45, was actually common.

It's give it when woman, and give it when man. I think it is a sad state of affairs that they really arent aware of others, because from where most high schoolers, who are expected to be grown up self efficient adults in 3 years and counting, find what is natural to us all, they're not looking at your already established state of affairs, they are searching. Actually, though, giving it ought to be specific, and directed. So they arent giving either. Its a pity they couldnt make treksuits more fashionable? You know, I remember when younger specifically having to constantly concentrate on keeping my legs together. It seemed almost natural to spread 'em :D Now my thigh muscles are great! I had no idea the train rides were like this, as if it were common!

No, I think 'dont care' is fine. As the issue is energy, I think it would be good to have an awareness of energy that can be produced by human resource, versus science as a resource. Probably good he is Japanese, they have an awareness of both.

there was a lot of political prisoners sent to Australia, rather than the freedom of America. England also bullied their British Isles partners, and forced departure from land a lot. So not exactly criminal, political. The refugee issue and the economics, and circumstances leading to the choice of getting on a boat, is interesting.

the number isn't zero for foreign fathers obtaining custody of their kids in a divorce with a Japanese. I know a guy who is from Peru living in Japan and is a single parent. igotchu; how does marriage evolve? like as in gay marriages? your comments are way too personal and mostly not even correct.

Yeah and usually it is Aussies of the younger generation who go on about birds and the cats that attack them. Yet none of those people probably spend much time doing anything with animals. I dont think any of you realize about cats. Wild cats kill offspring that isnt their own. So the intervention of humans is only breaking down their natural instincts. Of course it doesnt mean that it would totally kill off all the cats, but then neither does this programme. And as many have mentioned the cats are a natural necessity of the environment in dealing with rats. Breaking down the natural instincts of the animals cause much more damage in the long run.
And beside all that, why should/do NPO fork out money for cats? I thought they were a human thing.

Do you mean when somebody dies in service their family gets a payout? Seems rather small in any case.
I dunno about this, a 100 years for the crime? Despite what the father did was wrong, he should be allowed repentance too, considering that 'half' America feeds their kids them drugs for what they claim as mental problems. And considering the economic times.....Sad.

Hey Bento! Yes my English sux, Im from Australia, dont like following yous Pomee's rules! Thats why we got kicked down under. And Ive been living in Japan, dont you know the word anatatachi? or are you just into the food of Japan, Bento-kun?
And actually I do know some over 80s smokers, though thats not the topic here. I imagine if you eat regulary that is pretty healthy. Have you heard of them new style diets that they call cleansing? or detox?
Mind I have heard of people who live only on drinking and no eating. To me any style of eating is reasonable, perhaps over-eating or under-eating gives certain effects, but saying one is better than the other, is hypocritical and controlling and abusive.No?
